Keenan Yau Zhen Yang has been competing for 8 years. His best event is the Skewb: a personal-best single of 3.74, set at Malaysia Cube Championship 2019, puts him in the top 9.2% of the 73,281 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 101st in Malaysia. Until February 2014, no official Skewb solve in the world had been that fast. Across 6 competitions since January 2019, he has put 139 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 16% around a typical one, an early reading from 9 counted rounds. His 3×3 best has come down from 14.48 in January 2019 to 11.01, a 24% improvement. Keenan has entered six competitions, more competitions than 86% of everyone who has ever competed.

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
